Timely removes the single biggest source of operational drag in your business: unreliable, incomplete, and retrospective time data. Instead of asking teams to track time, Timely captures it automatically from the tools they already use and organizes it into accurate, decision-ready insight, so you can make business decisions based on real time-data. ## Why use Timely and Linear Linear is built for speed and clarity. Timely makes that speed measurable. By capturing effort automatically as work moves through issues and cycles, Timely turns Linear activity into a clear picture of investment and impact. You understand not just what shipped, but what it took to ship it, so planning gets sharper, tradeoffs get easier, and delivery stays sustainable as teams scale. ### Instant structure, zero drag Connect Linear once and your teams, projects, and issues appear in Timely automatically. There is nothing to configure and nothing to maintain. Engineers keep working in Linear, Timely stays invisible, and leadership gets consistent time data without slowing delivery or adding process. ### See what really drives progress Autosheet captures the work that happens between planning and shipping, then lets teams confirm it in one click. You understand where effort concentrates, who is accelerating progress, and how workloads feel across the team. Visibility increases without surveillance, and clarity replaces guesswork. ![Monday Integration graphic ](/cdn/65d8485a980f3a85360ba524_MONDAY.svg) ### Time that reflects how work flows When time is captured alongside Linear issues and cycles, reporting starts matching reality. You see how effort moves through work, where momentum stalls, and what delivery actually costs. Planning improves because it is based on evidence, not assumptions ### Plan with confidence, ship sustainably With issues, timelines, and activity continuously reflected in Timely, plans stay grounded as work evolves. You spot tradeoffs earlier, understand the true cost of iteration, and reduce delivery surprises. Better insight leads to steadier execution and teams that can sustain their pace as you scale. ## How to sync Linear and Timely? ## How the Timely + Linear Sync Works The Timely + Linear sync turns Linear activity into reliable effort data automatically.
